Star-Lord Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources

If NBC’s Parks and Recreation has taught us anything, it’s that 1.) jogging is the worst; 2.) at least once a year you have to treat yo self; and 3.) seven years from now, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will still be wildly popular.

If you’re a Guardians of the Galaxy fan with a taste for slightly retro T-shirts, we have a couple of suggestions for how you can spend a little of that holiday cash.

RIPT takes us back to the ’70s with “Ziggy Starlord,” which mashes together David Bowie and Peter Quill in the best possible way. If a T-shirt isn’t to your liking, Piercek25’s design is also available as a hoodie, a baby’s onesie, poster or coaster. They’re only available for another 10 hours or so, however.

ThinkGeek, which already offered Captain America and Winter Soldier hoodies, has added a couple of Guardians of the Galaxy sweatshirts to its lineup.

Seen in July at Comic-Con International, the licensed Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon hoodies mimic the heroes’ costumes; the former comes complete with mask, and the latter with ears (but alas, no tail). They’re $79.99 each, but they might make a pretty good gift for those Guardians fans in your life. Or, y’know, treat yo self.

If there were any doubt that every party you attend this month will essentially be a forest of Groots, take a glance at Fandango’s annual survey of movie-inspired Halloween costumes, which found the breakout star of Guardians of the Galaxy is the top choice this year among men.

Maleficent leads among women, followed by Katniss from The Hunger Games, Mystique from X-Men: Days of Future Past, Black Widow from The Avengers/Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Guardians of the Galaxy are on their way to Walt Disney World in Florida, and they’re coming to dance.

According to the Disney Parks blog, a Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Tape Dance Party is being planned as part of a “Villains Unleashed” event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Aug. 23. Per the post, guests can dance to the film’s best-selling soundtrack — at least until Star-Lord and Gamora show up to retrieve the tape.
